Faintly flow, thou follim? river, tike a dream t|mt dies awnjr ; Down to gliding ever, Keep thy cwltn unruffled wny : Time with inch h silent motion, Floats along, on wings of air, To etcrßity's dark ocean, Burning all it* treasures there. ! :i . Roses bloom, _*nd then they wither ; Cheeks are bright, then fade Shapes of light are wafted hither — 1 lien, like visions hnrry by $ Quick as clouds at evening driven O'er Ibe man/-colQur'd west, Years are bearing ua to heaven, Home of happiness and rest. Wound up. A sarJouß and tioitnJu | . cent'ly occurred oir the Hudson River 1 Railroad, in New York. A man named James Dick was standing near the track, j when one of the freight trains was , passing As soon »s jtjhad Dassed,.Dick ! stepped Into th« aii£di# ot the. track. By some accident it happened that the ' bell rope which runs through the cars i had become detached, so that it dragged ' about a block or more behind the train. When Dick saw this ho took hold of the rope, notwithstanding the warning of ' oue of the brakemen who was on the caboose The consequence was that when the end of the rope got to hiui, it wound auuni .fci} Sodjp Ukf a whip lash, andtlraggfcd 'bftu afcer file train lie flew through the air and swayed to aud fro like the tail of a kite on a windy day. The rope was wound around bis shoulders aud right arm, so that he could not possibly extricate himself. The only thing that saved him was the cutting nl' the rope by William Wilson, a brake man, who saw his situation After being dragged lor two blocks, he wa? picked up for dead and laid on a snow bank, lie finally regained consciousness, and was sent to the hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured, and he other gr**«.injuries. : —* • Tilts »o» ECONOMY.—A man from the lower walk* of -lile entered a drug store in D«tfoit, and inquired th* price of an ounce of arsenic, lieing informed, he drew a paper from his pocket, consulted some figures, and said : "That's two cents more than they asked me in Chicago." "Well, these are my lowest figures," replied the druggist The man took out a stub of a pencil, figured for three or four minutes, aud sagely observed : •'lt's time to JVacllce economy and I might as well bepitr here. Two cents on an ounce is 32 cents on a pound Thirty-two cents oo a pound is 832 on a hundred weight, or $8,400 on a too. Great Heavens! but do you think I would recklessly throw away 86,400 ?" The druggist oould make no reply, and the old man looked terribly indig nant as he wcut out.

' > ,If I. 1 / A Useful Joke A young man of eighteen or twenty, a student in a university, took a walk one day with a professor who was com monly called the studeuts friend, such was his kindness to the young men whom it was his office to instruct While they were now walking to gether, and the professor was seeking to lead the conversation to prave subjects, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path, whio they supposed belonged to a poor man who had almost finished his day's work The young student turned to the ytitfesaor, saying, ' Let us play the man a trick. We will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind these bushes, aud watch to see his perplexity when he caunot find them." "My dear friend," answered the pro fessor, "we must never amuse ourselves at (be expense of the poor. Hut you are rich, and may give yourself a much g' eater pleasure by means of thfs poor mau. I'ut a crown-piece, if you have them about you, in etch oue of his shoes, and tbeu ire will bide ourselves." The student, luckily having two crowo- Dieces, did so, and then placed himself, with the professor, behind the bushes, hard by, through which they could easily watch the laborer, and see whatever wonder or joy he might express. The pour man aoon finished his work and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While he put on his coat be slipped one foot into one of bis shoes. Feeling|some thing he stooped down and found (he crown. Astonishment and wouder were upon bis countenance. He gazed upon ihe crown, turned it rout d, and looked again and again ; then be looked round on all ftidea, but oould see no one. Now he put the money in hi? p jckei and pro ceeded to put on the other mi ie; bnt what was hit astonUhoient when he t ':-. d the other crown ! llis feelicg* over name hiui He foil lpon his knees, looked up to beave'i and uttered a loud and fervent thanksgiving, in which he xpoke of his wife, sick aud helpless, and bis dear children, who, by some uuknown hand, would be saved from 'perishing The young man stood there, deeply affected, and with tears in his eyes ' Now," said the professor, "are you not better pleased than if you bad played your intended trick ?" '•Oh ! dear sir," answered the student, "y»o have taught me a lessen that I will never forget. 1 feel now the truth of the words which I never before under stood : "It is more blessed to give than »o r«oeive.'* , ' A Swiss Commune. Tbe Commune of Samnaune, one of the most remarkable, as it is one of tbe least known, in all Switzerland, is situa. ted in a mountain valley, six thousand feet above the level of the sea, and almost out off from the world. The inhabitants fetch their daily supply of provisions from Martinsbrnck, on the other side of the Inn, and for the great er part of the distance, seven hours in all, they have 10 carry everything on tbeir baoks up the steep mountaio paths. They get their letters trow the Austrian village of Kauders, wbieh involves a walk for the poetman of ten hours, four thither and six back. Fifty years ago the members of the commune met to getber, and bekig of opinion that Ger man was on the whole a more desirable language tor the ordinary purposes of life than their mother tongue, they re solved henceforth to speak German only, and to teach it to their children. So thoroughly baa (his purpose been car ried out that, with tbe exception of a few old people, tbe Human inch speech, their native tongue, has been completely forgotten by the inhabitants of the valley. , ,x New Zealand, like Australia, groans under tbe rabbit pest.

It is estimated (hat a couple of rabbits will in four years increase to the eubr inous total of 21)0,000 We are a* liable to be corrupted by book* as by companion*. Another California Wonder California continually develops new wonders The latest discovery there is a natural washing machioe, which, as may be supposed, has been turned to full i advantage. A boiling spring has been discovered in Tulare county, between Psrtvelero and Los Gatos Creek. An enterprising person has applied for the water-right, and has made a clothes wringer to be worked by a water wheel at one side of the spring, where it boils over into another clear cold spring in which the proprietor has placed a s ck of iudigo The people iu the neighbor hood go to the spring to do their w&i-biog. The soiled clothes are thrown into tin: water, which has a whirling ni"ii,>n. and are drawn out of sight. In a few minute • they rise to the fl at tu the wringer, aud ate run througn it into 'he second spring, where they are rinsi ! by passing throiiirb another wr'nger. Th ■> natural laundry does its wntk in »t> 'it forty minutes, and one ol its special ben efits is that auy man can do the wishn g, thus spiring women the Hrudeery of a day over the wash-tub. It is pa >u larly appreciated by women, therefore, an I a number of families in tbp county intend to take up their abode near (lie spring, in order to facilitate labor. Cal ifornians daily expect to disciTer a cave in the vicinity where, by some arrange ment of partial nature, hot smooth stones roll up and down over a emooth rocky bed, so as as flat irons for the doing up of the washed clothes There is always such completeness in nature that the ironing method may be onnfi dently looked for. She has been so prodigal to the Golden State thkt ebo would not certainly provide her with washing springs, and omit caves wlu e the bleaching, starching and whole doing up process may be regulated Opontane uiH.y. —AYic York Timet. Threats Aga.nst a Father. Bbilqeport, Conn , March 13. —1n the second trial, to da, nf for the killing of his father, Goorge Hoyt, iu Sherman, Conn., on the. 23J of June last. Geo. II Woodruff, Trial J' • ticein Sherman narrated a conversation in which the prisoner said that the rea son for killing bis father was : *'lle has livetf long enough, and When I bave killed two or three more I shall be ready to die myself." John Thomas, a neigh bor, assisted in binding the prisoner, who admitted that be deserved hanging, and wished Thomas to pay to the wife of the accused man the amount due him oa open account between (hem. Albert Heeman, l'eter Meyers, Peter Curry and Edward White testified to threats made by Hoyt. Theirjtest'aiony, which was not given on the former trill, is important, as showing premeditation. Deeuian, while working with Hoyt a week before the murder, and the t'ay after his mother's funeral, heard him *ay that he did not expect always to be po«.r ; be should come home it) a drunken fit tome day and kill somebody, which wou'd give the neighbors something else to talk about. Meyers, on one oocasion, accom panied the pri*iDer down cellar for cider, and Hoyt'tf father remoustrated. While in the cellar.Hoyt said, with an t»ath. 'lf he outlives my mother I will put an end to him " Curry had a conversation with him four or five years ago, ia which Hoyt said, speaking of hi* father. "The old cuss used to lift tny wages until I ran away, and I would like to put a ball through his.heart if 1 thought it would penetrate." White, in talking with the prisoner with reference to the reason why Hoyt did not live with hia people, heard him say "If it WH not lot the law I woold be the death of him."
